Letters

To the editor:
I was a social worker for a year, a probation and parole officer for about four years and a cop for 21 years.
The poor woman that wrote the letter about her children, the school system and law enforcement has hit a rock wall that was built in 1973.
The wall is the Juvenile Justice Law. The only object of this law is to benefit the juvenile offender. It is based on an obsolete federal model that was scrapped years ago.
This law removed all power from the schools, the cops, and the parents!

To the editor:
On Tuesday, April 14, thousands of women from across the United States will join in a national day of action against unfair pay called Equal Pay Day.
April is symbolic of the point into the Next Year that a woman must work in order to earn the wages paid to a man in the previous year. On a national level, women are paid only 78 cents for every dollar a man is paid, according to the U.S. Consus Bureau. So, because women earn less, we must work longer for the same pay.

To the editor:
Our athletic teams often get a lot of well-deserved press, but we wanted to take an opportunity to publicly congratulate the Harrison County High School Academic team, and our son, Evan Sullivan, for their showing in the Kentucky Governor’s Cup Academic Competition.
